Latest / Northman Coaching / Overcoming Fear: Speak Your Faith
Transcript
- Gary: What have you stopped doing because you are afraid of how someone might react? Maybe you've stopped talking about your faith. Maybe you've avoided an honest conversation. Maybe you keep agreeing with something that violates your values because disagreement might cost you acceptance. And over time, Keeping everyone comfortable becomes more important than living with conviction. Think for yourself here. When you say, I don't want to upset anyone, are you practicing compassion or avoiding the discomfort of being honest? Those deserve different answers. Peter and John aren't defending every opinion they've ever had. They're bearing witness to Jesus. That distinction matters. Faithfulness doesn't make every thought in your head correct. You still need humility. You still need to listen. You still need to examine your beliefs against Scripture. But you also need the courage to act on what you believe.
